This was inspired by a scenario someone posted in the "Ask the next poster a question" thread. Here, you click the random trope button and this will be what your superpower is based around. Describe what you think a superpower based around that trope would enable you to do.

For example, I got Sailor Fuku. So...this means I can instantly poof a Sailor Moon-type outfit onto myself by clicking my heels, I guess?

Or, just hover over a Trope.

I got Gold Digger, so I'm very good at finding valuable items.

What happened? Why am I not allowed to post anymore!?

Eating Shoes, the ability to survive eating anything, even usually inedible stuff.

Why should the world exist without me? That wouldn't be fair. If I die, we all die!

Wow! I'm so glad you made this a new thread! Thank you!

Small Town Boredom. I guess... my power is ambition? Maybe I'm also speedy and hyperactive, because I don't like being stuck in one place.

Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.

So the power I get is... Sub-Trope, the ability to become a specific member of a general group.

Interesting...

So the trope I got was The Jeeves.

So, I guess I'm just the standard British butler, just super-competent at my job?

Universal System.

So, I can fit into any situation with a minimum of preparation? That's pretty useful.

Trail of Blood....

....

....

...Not getting to lucky with these aren't I? I am pretty sure this power either requires self-mutilation or me being near someone who is badly injured. If I could use it to heal others that might make it worth it I guess...

Kill Them All...
Laconic: The main cast dies.
To whom would the "main cast" refer to? The person I'm threatening or myself? If the latter, then I'll die alongside my family (that sucks). But if it's the former, then it would mean that the target would have to be a complete stranger connected to people whom I don't know or care about. Unless the "main cast" here refers to all of humanity...

Right Behind Me so either I'm always nearby when someone is insulting me, or when I insult someone their behind me, which would be weird if I say how horrible Hitler was and suddenly he's right behind me.
